"Michael Andreas Helmuth Ende" was a German language/German writer of Fantasy literature/fantasy and children's fiction. He is best known for his epic fantasy The Neverending Story; other famous works include Momo (novel)/Momo and Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer (Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver). His works have been translated into more than 40 languages, sold more than 20 million copies, and adapted as motion pictures, stage plays, operas and audio books.

He often expressed frustration over being perceived as a children's writer exclusively, considering that his purpose was to speak of cultural problems and spiritual wisdom to people of all ages. He wrote in 1985:
